Time for new front tires 1st take the car in for an alignment they tell me the Caster on the right side is 8.4 to the lefts 6.6 cant get them closer. im using carfixers spec. does anybody know of a aftermarket front lower rear control arm bushing that would give me another degree. I was thinking that elongating the holes could do it but that's a drastic last step. HELP!

Caster????
That's almost unheard of not to be able to align properly unless its been a wreck.

They make a camber bolt kit, if that's what you were referring to

no its caster. I installed the camber bolt kit awhile ago. only thing ever to happen to that side was I put a new hub brg on a month ago. cars only got 85k on it

Camber bolts need elongated holes to work. Do yours might not be installed properlu

i remember reaming out the holes for the bolts and realigning it there was no issue after that. it wasn't until i had some play in the hub bearing that i started to notice inside tire wear. so i replaced the hub brg. i don't have a shop anymore so i had to get someone to do the alignment. he knows what hes doing and has new rack. cant imagine why its so far out

Does it pull right while driving at all? Or does it drive straight?

Your inner edgewear is not due to your caster angles.

Get us a picture of the alignment print out or list the specs so we can assist you further.
